Matt [Damon]\u2019s one of them. Jason Bateman and Bradley [Cooper], and \u2026 actually, the first rule of Wordle is don\u2019t talk about Wordle. Unless you get it in three guesses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Affleck added that he didn&#8217;t think his competitors would be very good but they soon changed his mind.<\/p>\n<p>He went on: &#8220;I used to do the crossword compulsively in the mornings and think I was good at word games. And let\u2019s face it, going up against actors, it\u2019s not a high bar. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I expected to do fairly well, so I was seriously humbled. You have to do the Wordle, the Quordle and the Octordle, and add up your score, and then whoever gets the lowest score wins for the day. It\u2019s fiercely competitive, and there\u2019s a lot of mockery and derision. So I\u2019m in training.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDuring the interview, Affleck also opened up about social media and insisted he is too worried about doing something wrong to ever start posting on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe explained: &#8220;My wife\u2019s [Jennifer Lopez] a genius at that [Instagram]. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s anybody who understands Instagram better than her. In fact, she gave me a talk this morning before this interview. She thinks that because of experiences that I\u2019ve had, I\u2019ve become very guarded. And she\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I view these things as land mines, where if you say one wrong thing, your career might be over.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/ben-affleck-part-fiercely-competitive-celebrity-wordle-group-1375289.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 March 2023 Ben Affleck is part of a &#8220;fiercely competitive&#8221; celebrity Wordle group.
